Here's to Blogging!

Well here it goes…I’m going to start blogging and I think now is the right time.   I want to journal the happenings of our family as we prepare and ultimately move to Vienna, Austria.  My goal is to keep our family and friends up to date and to document our upcoming travels throughout Europe... Exciting! Most of you know I’ve been flying solo for 2 months now as Josh completes some training in Georgia. He has made one trip home and will come to visit again for Memorial Day. 

I’m certainly feeling the stresses of planning this move, there is so much I want to do and so little time.  It’s such a delicate balance and at the end of the day I can’t seem to make myself do the "Spring Cleaning" that so desperately  needs to be done.  So with that being said…I’m going to release it!! If it gets done... great!  If it doesn’t... that’s fine too.  I will purge as I unpack boxes in Vienna.  I just want to enjoy our final weeks living in California, embrace our time with friends, enjoy our visitors and have a fantastic time in TEXAS!

So I'm adopting the Six Be's.  I will BE GRATEFUL, grateful for the amazing journey we are about to embark on and the memories we will build.  BE SMART, I will try my hardest to be smart with this move when deciding what we "really" need.  BE CLEAN, I must stay clean and organized.   BE TRUE, I will be true to myself and what I believe and feel is right for our family.  BE HUMBLE, I am humbled everyday by the wonderful people God has placed in my life during this time of transition. And finally, BE PRAYERFUL, I will continue to pray as we make this life changing journey, faithfully trusting God and knowing he has a glorious plan for our family!

Blessings to you all…and here’s to blogging!!
